Genealogist Unravels Mystery of 1800s Ring

Posted by admin on Jun 23, 2011

A professional genealogist from Utah has helped find the rightful heirs to a 1800s gold ring found buried in the sands of a local beach in what he is calling an “almost unheard of” turn of events. The descendants live as far away as Virginia and North Carolina, but in a striking coincidence, they happen to be in New Hampshire this week for a family member’s funeral.

Danny Hall, “The Gentleman Genealogist” from Salt Lake City, Utah, heard the “unique” story of the engraved ring, as told in recent stories in the Portsmouth Herald. “I’ve never seen anything close to this before,” said Hall, who specializes in solving family mysteries and reuniting relatives. “This is almost unheard of.”
